Sarah Palin's Pastor Muthee speaks himself about running the old woman out of town after accusing her of witchcraft. The reasons that he gave for "knowing" she was a witch is that she told fortunes and that there had been a few car accidents near her home. No one knows what ever happened to "Mama Jane", whether she was able to leave town safety, or whether she was just a scapegoat in order to allow Muthee to seem more powerful.

Note, Muthee has not been connected to the following article, but this is something that happens in "witchhunts" in Kenya.: From the AP
